Im just curious how many of us are out there that are engaged before dating 1 whole year. Checking out several posts, im seeing that its more than I thought. Glad to know Im not the only one! Post how many months you dated before getting engaged I was engaged after just 10 months of dating!!

    We were "unofficially" engaged as early as 6 months, but FH didn't actually propose until we were together 19 months (on my birthday Smiley smile). We will be together 3 years and 2 months on our wedding day.

    I had known him a yr and a month, and had been dating for 10 months when he proposed. However, we knew we were going to get married about 5 months in. I'm glad I'm not the only one! Lol. Many of our engaged friends dated for years before he popped the question. But we just felt that it was pointless to wait any longer.

    We got unofficially engaged at almost 5 months together and got engaged at 8 months together. That why we have a long engagement. If I was younger than my age right now, I won't do it.

    We started dating in march, Engaged 2 months after that.. this sunday will mark 1 year since we have been engaged. my FH has been in Iraq for 10 months, so have only been together, live, in person for 4 months before he left. kinda crazy but in such a good way. Being apart for a year has made us closer in many different ways. by the time we get married, we will have been together for 2 years though. if it was up to him, we would have been married already!

    @Kaili- same thing with FH and I. We knew a longgg time before the actual proposal. We began talking about marriage about 6 months into our relationship. He just wanted to save for the perfect ring....Not to mention we were in high school when we started dating and we were in no hurry. We were actually engaged after dating for almost 2 years. We'll have been together for 4 years when we get married and we'll have technically known each other for 6 and a half years.

    I totally feel so much better after this! I felt like we were the only ones "unofficially" engaged for a while. And we were the only ones to do it so soon.

    Unofficially engaged 10 months into the relationship, seriously planning a little less than three years in. Needed more time to get stuff together before a wedding was feasible Smiley smile

    We started dating in July...and talking about getting married in October... lol .... then he ordered the ring in December and proposed in January! Smiley smile So 6 months of dating haha. Crazy how fast life can change!! I think it happened so fast for us because we are just on the same page... and we spent a lot of time apart bc I was living at school (3-5 hours away). Those 3 day long dates made us get to know eachother way faster than normal dating would. Something must be working right though, we've been together every single weekend since we started dating! Smiley smile Smiley smile Smiley smile
